Question

Miro keeps zooming out to show full cell when selecting text in a table

As titled. It is extremely frustrating, because I am selecting text to move or edit it, but the auto zoom out makes the text small and illegible and I also have to zoom back in manually, often in the process lose the selection. 

It is also not accessibility friendly, too much sudden movement on the screen. I wish Miro has an option to disable these “automatic” features and just let users enjoy a steady display and have full control of zoom-level.

      Hi ​@Xuan thanks for your feedback!

      At the moment, Miro sometimes automatically adjusts the zoom when selecting text or objects. While intended to help with precision editing, we understand it can be disruptive. A few strategies that might help in the meantime:

      1. Use keyboard shortcuts for zooming (Ctrl/Cmd + / Ctrl/Cmd -) to quickly reset zoom without losing selection.

      2. Toggle Reduce Motion in the board settings— this can reduce unexpected auto-zoom adjustments.
         

         

      3. Try smaller text boxes or frames — smaller areas sometimes trigger less aggressive auto-zoom.

      Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback! It helps us make Miro better for everyone.

      Hi, Eca. Thank you or reply.

      1. It doesn’t help. The idea is to stop zooming and have a steady view of the text I am editing. Not getting automatically zoomed out and then try manually zooming in. I lose my selection in either of the processes.
      1. I’ve also tried it. It doesn’t stop the auto-zoom out at all. 

      Please, I think the right way to resolve this is to have an option to disable to auto-zoom function on Table/Cell selection. I understand that it is meant to be helpful, but it’s doing the exact opposite and making tables almost unusable. Imagine trying to edit a text, the moment you finish selecting it, the board zooms far back out and reset your selection. You zoom back in, trying to do it again, only for it to repeat.

      I look forward to an update to this.
